yacht photo

[ruaricoles]

Inspired by some great sailing photos in an old Rosenfeld book we have, I fiddled with the lighting in one of my own to create this and thought I'd share it. Took out a floating marker, darkened the sky, and did a little dodging and burning (trying to improve my PS skills too).

It's a pity the headsail isn't fully filled but I guess you can't have everything!

That is very nice, lovely lighting and contrast - the b&w works very well

That's superb. Can we see a larger version?

I agree, that’s a spectacular photo. I love it.

Not as dramatic as yours but thought I'd push it upon you anyway for good measure:

Thanks for the positive comments; here's a slightly bigger version as requested
